Well, I'd already seen the show before seeing the movie, so I had high expectations. And, while it couldn't match the excellence of the show, it came pretty close and was still an extremely great movie (hence the 10 out of 10) Happy movie with great emotions. True that Pierce can't sing, but look past that and at what a great Sam Carmichael he makes. Meryl Streep's performance was legendary! Go see this movie, and then see the stage show too. They are both amazing!

I saw this movie with my 16 year old son. He was being kind! However, all through the movie he laughed just as much as I did. We enjoyed it. It was good fun. The music was more than I remember from Abba. I did get a chuckle out of Pierce Brosnan singing, but it just added to the fun. I now want to see it again with my friends from work.

It was great! To put ABBA'S songs into a fast paced movie was excellent! The beautiful scenery, and what was ment to be normal looking people put this whole package togeather. I didn't think that I would like it, but I loved it.

I've seen the musical twice and the movie twice and I would see it again and again. It's well done.

Great movie!!! I've lost count of how many times I have seen it and I hope to see it again. It's a great movie to see with your mom. I LOVED the songs. I can't get them out of my head.

Yup, I hate musicals. It's like someone said: "I have an idea for a movie, but can only think up enough material to make 10 mins of screen time. I know! We can make the actors SING it all! Voila! 2 hour movie!"

When I see a musical, I expect the singing to be good from all the performers. Pierce Brosnan couldn't sell a song to save his life! I was cringing and people in the audience were laughing anytime he opened his mouth to sing. Other singers were generally fine, but you have to sit through Pierce for about 15 minutes in this movie.

Hard to suspend disbelief that Meryl is young enough to HAVE a daughter this age (if she was supposed to have been young and spirited herself when she had the kid.) Other than that though this is a great movie full of hysterically funny moments and fantastic dare-you-not-to-sing-along music. Don't miss it!!

A fun and light hearted movie. I suggest it as a Saturday matine, and you must like Abba or at least that style of music. So... If you love Abba, see it at the cinema. If not, wait for the DVD.

The movie was good, the story line plot etc... but there might have been a little bit too much singing, that it began to eat into the story. All in all a great see and worth the price of admission.

I expected much more from this movie. A more interesting plot line, more laughs but it was mostly cheesy and predictable. I know it is a musical but still too much singing, the boring kind (not the funny like in hairspray) An okay chick flick at most.

Its cute and funny... I came out of the theatre wanting to dance. Its cheesy in parts (Pierce Brosnan singing is just strange) It is a lighthearted movie meant to make you feel good and it does.

Amazing film from start to finish. I have lost count how many times I've watched it and listened to the soundtrack. Fantastic acting, singing awesome, award performances from Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, Colin Firth and all the cast. Beautiful scenery. Good storyline, warm hearted, funny, just makes you get up and sing. Absolutely love this film. I hope they get something out of this as it it took alot for them all to sing in this and is the best movie ever.

Nice little feel good movie that tugs on the emotions especially during the final 15 minutes. The story would have been great even without the music as a backdrop. There were a few big negatives for me though. I found that the actual music delivery by the actors was weak which for a musical is quite a letdown. If you can get by that, then I can see how so many people would give this movie a 9.

Hi there. I'm an Aussie that has relocated to Canada. I saw the movie in Oz but missed the ending. Why you ask? I got up out of my seat and motivated the majority of the viewing audience to get up and dance. They loved it and it will always be to most memorable movie that we have ever attended. Granted children under 12 thought their parents were behaving oddly. I am now flying to San Francisco mid-September to see this "The movie of the Year" again and hopefully motivate the audience to get up, dance, truly enjoy the film and create a memory to proudly tell their children about!! Go see it as soon as you can. Live YOUR dream. I do every day!!

It was a really good show. All of the problems, and situations broke out into singing. If you like a musical, you will like this show, and also if you like Abba's music.
